Spiral Tensegrity

This is the second part from my deep dive into tensegrity models. I still have a few more coming. Learned a lot, all in all I've created 5 models. I'll post them all here when I can. I find things like this fascinating. At first glance it defies gravity, you can't push a rope right? How are the strings holding this up? But, when you look at it closely the whole model becomes understandable. Tensional Integrity or Tensegrity is how this whole model is held together beyond initial belief. The push pins work well if you're not a knot tie-er, like me. The pins are tapered and create a locking angle against the string (or 10 lb test fishing line like I used). I'm amazed at how well this worked at first assembly. The fishing line worked well, there is a little bit of elasticity to it and makes the assembly more forgiving. I would like to try spider-wire fishing line, it is braided and there is absolutely zero stretch, I think this would take a lot of the shakes out of this. But really the ch
